2. The next is there shall be one Lord. Hitherto there have been divers Lords. The Heathens had their several Deities, the Turks their Mahomet, the Jews their imaginary Messiah, the Papists their Lord the Pope, many nations do not as yet call Christ Lord, Other Lords have dominion over them, Isaiah 26. 13. But then Jesus Christ shall be the person acknowledged, he shall be acknowledged alone, he shall be acknowledged as Lord, all this is included in the expression &c. That Christ alone shall be spoken of invocated & adored in all the Churches, they shall be subjected to him as the only King, and guided by him as the only Shepherd, Ezek. 20. 24. Hold of him as the only head, and stand to his appointment as the only Law-giver, James 4. 12. And indeed here is the ground of all; for tis unity of Religion that begetteth unity of affection, the one Lord causeth the one Name, when men have one King, give themselves up to the will of Christ, and have one Shepherd guided by the Spirit of Christ, and have one Law-giver, are willing their opinions should stand or fall at the appointments of Christ, then will there be a sweet and happy agreement.
